The dead are arising : the life of Malcolm X Cover Image Book

The dead are arising : the life of Malcolm X / Les Payne and Tamara Payne.

Payne, Les, 1941-2018 (author.). Payne, Tamara, (author.).

Summary:

"In 1990 Payne embarked on a nearly thirty-year-long quest to interview anyone he could find who had actually known Malcolm X. All living siblings of the Malcolm Little family, classmates, street friends, cellmates, Nation of Islam figures, FBI moles and cops, and political leaders around the world. His goal: to transform what would become over a hundred hours of interviews into an unprecedented portrait of Malcolm X, one that would separate fact from fiction. Setting Malcolm's life not only within the Nation of Islam but against the larger backdrop of American history, Payne corrects the historical record and delivers extraordinary revelations. A riveting work that affirms the centrality of Malcolm X to the African American freedom struggle." -- Adapted from jacket
